I found this great mini album pattern on YouTube a while back and fell in love with all the tricky little pages. (Designed by Angelwings 14100-see video link below!)

On the front of the mini I used the Christmas tree sticker from the kit and added Joyful Penguin, Penguin with Snowflake and a couple babies from the Playful Penguin Trio(yep, reminds me of my daughter's little Newton family). I also cut out the sentiment Christmas (from Echo Park in the Silhouette store) . I used two layers of red satin ribbon with a little magnet inside for the closure and colored a white snowflake button (tied up with some May Arts green twine) with an E42 copic marker to antique it up a bit.

Here it is open to the first page. The left side has the little page insert decorated with an EP sticker along the top and another Great Impressions Penguin. The right side is a gate fold with a magnet closure.

Grab the little gold Noel tab sticker to open up the page. Inside has another double sided insert for pictures.

Flip to the next page...the page on the right flips up and there is a page underneath that flips down. The page on the right has a Santa's Coming sticker from the kit.

Last page fully opened up.

These pages have stickers from the kit and a Joyful Penguin on the page insert. The string of lights is another Echo Park file from the Silhouette store. There is a page insert on the top Santa page and the bottom page (with the holly leaves) flips back up and then opens like a gate fold (held closed with magnets) Oh my---look at all the pretty papers and stickers!

On the left side of this page is another Echo Park cut file (Holiday Cake) from the Silhouette Store, the right side has a print out and another sticker.

A quick video that I made to show you how this album works-thanks to my son for helping me!

Loving that SUPER FUN and fab mini album. What a great project. Thank you for the links and videos. I got officially hooked on the awesomeness of this and now I'm running late for an appointment. heehh...LOL!

OMWord....I've never seen anything quite like this....so many turns and twist and wow wow wow! Don't think I dare try anything like this, but yours is totally awesome. I would definitely get lost too....haha

A-mazing!! First - thank you for sharing the link. I am going straight to the video to learn how to make this beauty. Second, the penguin family on your cover is so adorable!! Love your project, from beginning to end.

Sue, what an amazing album/project! So many gorgeously colored and printed papers, and a delightful manner in opening each new surprise section! A very nice gift for lots of different things. Thank you for an enjoyable early morning, as I browsed your blog and became you newest follower.

Your mini book is fabulous. I love all of the different paper you used making it, the stamps and even the Silhouette cuts that Echo Park has. Thanks for the video. I am for sure going to make one of these. I appreciate the inspiration you showed us today.

120 comments - good fathers - will you ever read my comment. I love this Sue and sure do appreciate the video showing how you did this remarkable card. I am gonna make one too Sue. Hey - that's a rhyme - looks like I can make one anytime. Maybe I am a poet and just don't know it. I hope you are having a fabulous weekend!Sandy
